The set-screws G are obviouslylinstrumental in securing the shell A to the shaft (not shown) 'adapted to extend into the said s hell through the sleeve a.

It will be observed that the flanges 10 and 17 of the sleeves a and vb protect the set-V screws C and G against injurly, and in addition the said flanges material y reinforce the j sleeves.

It will. be observed also that the flan es 7 form dustards for excluding dust an dirt from entering the casing at the joints formed between the shell-sections 5 and 6, and I would here remark that the joint formed between and circumferentially of the shellsJA and B may be packed in any approved man' 1.
